Freshney is an excellen basic source, but the net could be more
informative if we knew what you wanted to do with cultured cells. From your
backgound, I'd guess you needed some type of specialized cell. There are a
lot of specialized cell lines available, some well known and some not.
Choosing the correct cell line, or even a particular subclone, may mean
success or a great deal of wasted time. Please inform us!
